Our Services

  • Prevent problems before they start!
    Set your pup up for success with expert guidance and proactive training! Behavior challenges can begin early, especially if your puppy is having trouble adjusting to their new home. We’ll create a customized socialization and training plan tailored to your puppy’s unique needs to prepare them for their life with you!

  • Perfect for dogs struggling with fear, aggression, anxiety, or reactivity!
    We’ll uncover the root cause of your dog’s behavior and create a customized behavior modification plan to address it without the use of fear, force, or intimidation.

  • Good habits make life with your dog easier.
    Whether you're interested in learning the basics, advanced obedience, or fun, crowd-pleasing tricks, we can create custom training plans tailored to your dog’s unique needs and learning style. We make training fun, effective, and engaging using positive reinforcement training methods.

  • Not sure where to start?
    Email us to book a free 30-minute meeting with Beyond The Bark’s owner and certified trainer, Mary Crawford, CPDT-KA, FFCP. These meetings are a great opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions, and review your dog’s behavior.

    After reviewing your dog’s behavior, training goals, Mary will help you identify the best training path for your dog and your goals. You’ll get personalized guidance, expert tips, helpful resources, and referrals if needed.
